Third-Party Services

The App uses Firebase Crashlytics (Google) for crash reporting to help us identify and fix technical issues. Firebase may collect limited technical information as described in Google's Privacy Policy.

Data Sharing

  • We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties
  • No personal data is shared since we don't collect personal information
  • Only anonymous technical crash data may be processed by Google Firebase

Children's Privacy

Our App is suitable for all ages and does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Since we don't collect personal information from any users, children can safely use the App.

Internet Connection

The App works completely offline for all chess gameplay. Internet connection is only used for:

  • Initial app installation/updates
  • Sending anonymous crash reports (optional)

Your Rights

  • Data Deletion: You can delete all local app data by uninstalling the App
  • Opt-out: You can disable crash reporting in your device's app settings
